On this occasion, an exhibition on Emperor Charles IV celebrating the 700thanniversary of the birth of Emperor Charles IV will be held at the Chamber of Commerce in Republic Street, Valletta.

Charles IV (1316 – 1378), King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, stands among the most exceptional personalities of Czech and European history. Charles IV was an ambitious sovereign, shrewd politician, and urbanistic visionary.

The 700th anniversary of Charles IV‘s birth is a great reason to learn more about this king and emperor, as well as the city he made his home and loved above all others, Prague.
